Gardner Minshew ‘begged’ Doug Marrone to play quarterback

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew will do anything to play more football — he’ll chug whiskey and take a hammer to his hand, he’ll hide injuries from the team, and he’ll even beg head coach Doug Marrone to put him in.

That’s according to ESPN’s Mike DiRocco who spoke with Minshew after practice on Monday.

“It’s so frustrating,” Minshew said. “I pretty much went and begged before the Cleveland game to be able to play. It sucks, you know, There’s no way around it. I want to be out there.
